Visualize Your Research
Join us for our exclusive summer series on data visualization. We’re offering an exclusive online talk by award-winning designer Giorgia Lupi, followed by an intensive student workshop lead by artist and professor of data visualization, Daniel Sauter.
Visualizing research results is more important than ever. Not only are we more used to images, graphs, and statistics in our environment, but well-designed images and illustrations can also convey and illuminate research results effectively – and persuasively.
The German Centers for Research and Innovation (DWIH) in New York and Tokyo, with collaboration from 1014, are proud to present the summer program “Visualize Your Research” through which you can obtain the skills necessary to visualize both quantitative and qualitative research – while connecting with young researchers in Japan, Germany and the US.
PART I: LECTURE
Offering inspiration and insights, information designer Giorgia Lupi will dive into her work and philosophy of “data humanism.”
Everyone is welcome to attend and can register here.
PART II: Workshops
A free, two-part workshop for graduate level students looking to acquire and improve their skills in data visualization.
Part I – “Dataviz for Aspiring Professionals” (July 23, 8 PM EDT)

Workshops are by application only and limited to 30 attendees. We’re looking for graduate students affiliated with a university in the U.S., Germany or Japan. Attendees must commit to producing and submitting a visualization.
